Thirdly, Go to God to make good this promise; in this 91. Psalm, if you do but mind it, the Lord doth not only promise protection and deliverance from the Plague to those that trust in him, but he promises grace to trust in him; he promises protection upon condition that you trust in him, and he promises you grace also to trust in him: (saith he) at the 5th. verse, Art thou afraid, and canst not trust in me! Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day; at the 4th. verse, He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust; Thou shalt not be afraid, &c. thou shalt be secure, and I will keep thee from fear. The Lord that hath promised protection in the time of a Plague, hath also promised freedom from fear, and ⟨p. 19⟩grace to trust in him; therefore go to God for this grace, go to him to make good this promise.

Then again fourthly, consider what motives ye have to trust in God in the time of a plague; you will say, what arguments or motives have we in the consideration whereof we may be moved to trust in God in the time of a plague? there are many; give me leave a little, that we may help one another's faith in this needful day.
